Iron & Wine - Beneath The Balcony Lyrics
Let's go out and dance, darlingour last of daysand grace the game with a blindfold onthe cheaters come to playand outside the soft-handed boys,screaming cars and all their speedmusic, math, a hero begging changehis sword across his knees.And how he prays to find a man to blamefor every sleepless night he spendsand for every well that he warned me ofbut wound up falling inand then for the kids beneath the balconywho disregard the rainto make sure the king won't grant the dead man one more dayLet's go out and see darlingwhat shines tonightand temper your dream about thedying horsewith traffic, noise, and lightand somwhere the soft-handed boys,bleeding hearts, and worker beesgive to the holy mother begging changeChrist across her kneesAnd how she prays to find a man to blamefor every loveless night she waitsand for every gun that she frowned upon but still some *****er madeand then for the kid beneath the balconybehind the garbage canwho hopes for the king to comeand hold his sweating hand
